Oh there's nothing over-the-top about this...

Even
as fast-food chains tout their healthy offerings, they're also coming
up with fatty new treats to keep customers interested. Case in point:
Dunkin' Donuts is adding a doughnut breakfast sandwich to its national
menu this week.

The sandwich, which comes with fried eggs and bacon between a split
glazed doughnut, will become a part of the permanent menu starting
Friday, which the chain claims is "National Donut Day." Dunkin' Donuts
had tested the sandwich in select stores in eastern Massachusetts in
April, creating considerable buzz online.

This may actually be a perfect encapsulation of how news is now entirely driven by corporate press release.

This is the Associated Press, fer gawd's sake. While they begin with something that gives the story a superficial appearance of being news through the use of the phrase, "Even as fast-food chains tout their healthy offerings, they're also coming up with fatty new treats to keep customers interested," the rest of it is nothing but a rewritten press release and free advertising.
